Douglas MacArthur was in the Corps of Engineers from 1903 to 1917. D. Clayton James, a MacArthur biographer, titled a chapter and a sub-chapter about this period of MacArthur's career: "The Travels and Tribulations of a Young Engineer," and "The Brink of Oblivion."
In this latest episode, MacArthur Memorial historians Jim Zobel and Amanda Williams discuss MacArthur's time in the Corps of Engineers and how it may have influenced the rest of his career. This episode also includes a bonus Q&A of listener questions that were recorded after the initial program.
